After a house fire in September, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $290
• Groceries and school meals: $290
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
If you're reading this, thank you.

Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bangkok
So sorry you're going through this, Kagiso. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Düsseldorf this morning.
